The Giants will see a familiar face in Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who they know from his time in the NFC East with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Entering the game, New York is listed as a 10.5-point underdog to a Chiefs team that is 1-3 in their last four games. As if the Giants weren’t big enough underdogs at home, they are also going up against an Andy Reid team after a bye — we all know how successful Reid is following a bye week.

Reid has a career record of 16-2 coming off a bye. Needless to say, if the Giants have any chance of hanging with the Chiefs on Sunday, they will need to take advantage of all opportunities during the course of the game.

Stop Travis Kelce and guard against the deep ball

It is no secret that the Giants have not been good against opposing tight ends this year. In fact, Big Blue has allowed a touchdown to an opposing tight end in every game they have played this season.

Kelce is arguably the best tight end in the league. Combine that with the Giants’ struggles against the position spells disaster for Big Blue.

The Giants have also allowed some big plays in the last two games. In fact, they have allowed five touchdowns of 30 yards or more in the last two games. With game-breakers like Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt, Big Blue must avoid giving up the big plays on defense.
